When Fox put together the first X-Men movie, discussions arose over whether moviegoers would be put off by the comic's more ‘silly’ elements. They instead opted for a darker aesthetic inspired by The Matrix.
Marvel has transformed the conversation around superhero films, delivering visually faithful adaptations of iconic characters, while reaping a staggering $30 billion in box office revenue.

The Penguin is viewed more as a Sopranos tribute than a faithful representation of Gotham, which raises concerns about losing the essence of its comic book origins.
